Designing Person-Centered, Innovative Health Care
Integration or Parity?
Abstract
It is relatively easy to treat body-based problems: a wound will heal if kept clean; an infection will succumb to antibiotics; and pain will yield to pharmacologic intervention even if the source is not known. Yet most illness experiences are a complex blend of mind-body interaction, of whole-person dynamics. For example, depression, anxiety and stress interfere with the improvement of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension. Of the 15 leading causes of death in the United States in 2010 (Centers for Disease Control, 2013, table 10), 11 were associated with behavioral/lifestyle practices and stressors that conspired in the progression of the illness.
